iM Bank announced that on the first business day of the new year, its newly appointed CEO, Kang Jeonghun, held an event to communicate with customers and employees.
At the inauguration ceremony held on December 31 of last year, CEO Kang emphasized three key execution goals: Value-Up (enhancing the value of the bank, employees, and customers), Warm Finance, and Imagine More (differentiated services). As his first official activity, he arranged opportunities to engage with customers and spend time with employees.
On January 2, the first business day of the new year, Kang hosted a “Staff Appreciation Day” by serving lunch and sharing well-wishes with employees at the cafeteria of the Daegu Suseong headquarters. To help revitalize the local economy, he also met with around ten employees of various ranks and ages, including department heads and branch staff, at a nearby restaurant. Kang then had tea with the labor union chairman and executives, and visited every office floor at the Suseong headquarters to exchange New Year’s greetings with employees.
In the afternoon, he visited the headquarters branch, where a food truck event was held serving warm coffee and citron tea, providing an opportunity to meet and interact directly with visiting customers. This event was organized to fulfill his inauguration pledge to “listen to the voice of customers and get closer to them.” CEO Kang also expressed his commitment to enhancing the value of the bank and its customers through bold partnerships and the expansion of various digital businesses.
An iM Bank representative stated, “By starting his term with practical field communication, CEO Kang Jeonghun aims to enhance the value of the bank, employees, and customers with a sense of boundless responsibility. In 2026, iM Bank will focus on productive and inclusive finance, providing warm financial services and prioritizing consumer protection.”
